Invasion routes; eyes, skin contact, ingestion. Health Hazard; Harmful if swallowed. Safe under normal conditions of use. Contents are non-reactive when the battery integrity and seals remain intact. DO NOT OPEN or DISMANTLE. DO NOT EXPOSE TO FIRE or NAKED FLAME. Burn / Explosion / Fire risks; do not mix with varying chemistries, sizes & types of battery. Do not crush or incinerate. Environmental hazard; the internal electrolyte may cause adverse environmental impact. Danger of fire and explosion; risk is increased by high temperature and short circuit. Eye contact: Skin contact: Ingestion: Inhalation: Contact with battery electrolyte may cause burns, eye damage is possible. Contact with battery electrolyte may cause burns and skin irritation. Ingestion of battery contents may cause mouth, throat and intestinal burn and damage. Inhalation of a large number of vapours of fumes released due to heat may cause respiratory damage. Section 3. Substances. 3.1 Chemical Name (substance) 3.1 CAS No. 3.2 Percentage of Content (weight) Nickel cobalt manganese composite hydroxide % Iron % Graphite % Copper % Aluminium foil % Polypropylene % Lithium % V4 Page 1 of 8 CP315BP v1 Issue 1 08/01/16

2 Section 4. First Aid Measures. Lithium Batteries do not pose a risk to eyes or skin under normal circumstances. In the case of contact with internal substances; EYE CONTACT: irrigate eyes with water for at least 15 minutes while raising eyelid(s). Seek medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush affected area(s) with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. INGESTION: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water but do not do this if casualty is INHALATION: unconscious. If breathing difficulties develop, remove the person to fresh air. Loosen close fitting clothing. Ensure that person is warm. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If mouth to mouth resuscitation is necessary, the person conducting this must takes steps to reduce the risk of contamination from toxic / corrosive substances that may be present. Protection of First Aiders: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved. Ensure that medical personnel take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination. V4 Page 2 of 8 CP315BP v1 Issue 1 08/01/16

3 Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures. Recommended practice; if a battery becomes hot, immediately remove it from flammable materials and place on a non-combustible surface. If possible, place a disintegrating device outdoors and allow it to burn out. Fire condition; NB; ensure that electrical devices are turned off. Prevent electric shock risk. In case of fire where lithium batteries are present, flood the area with water. Important; read Section 5.1. If any batteries are burning, water may not extinguish them, but will cool the adjacent batteries and control the spread of fire Extinguishing media Fragments may be ejected from a fire. Extinguishers; Only use Graphite based CO2 (Carbon dioxide), Dry Powder or Foam. Copper powder fire extinguishers, sand, dry ground dolomite or soda ash may also be used. These materials act as smothering agents. If possible, use a LITH-X (powdered graphite) extinguisher on small fires. This material acts as a smothering agent. A sodium chloride powder extinguisher IS NOT suitable for use on Lithium Batteries. It may not be possible to extinguish burning lithium batteries. Burning batteries will burn themselves out. Do not use water with LITH-X (powdered graphite). If a LITH-X (powdered graphite) extinguisher is not available; Use copious amounts of water in a fine spray to swamp a fire. Continue to use copious amounts of water until the fire is extinguished and the batteries are cooled. NB: Lithium reacts with water to form Hydrogen. The fire will not be extinguished immediately. Be aware of the increased risk of explosion. NB; fire-fighting water runoff may be corrosive / toxic and may cause adverse environmental impact Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Hazard characteristics; thermal decomposition can lead to the release of toxic fumes. Hazardous combustion products; carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, lithium oxide fumes Advice for fire-fighters Fire Fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. Section 6. Accidental Release Measures. In the event of battery rupture and leakage, ventilate the area. wear appropriate protective clothing (see Section 7) to prevent eye and skin contact and to prevent inhalation of vapours or fumes. remove sources of ignition. absorb released materials with inert absorbent (dry sand or soil). collect released materials into sealed plastic bag or container. Prevent material from contaminating soil or entering sewers or waterways. Do not dispose of released materials with domestic waste Do not allow product to enter ground water, water course or sewerage system. Dispose of released materials in accordance with local authority regulations. V4 Page 3 of 8 CP315BP v1 Issue 1 08/01/16

4 Section 7. Handling and Storage. Handling; 1. Never dismantle or modify a battery. 2. Do not immerse or expose a battery to water. 3. In the event of a battery becoming damaged and the battery contents are released, see section Do not short circuit a battery. A short circuit causes heating and can lead to ignition of surrounding materials. Physical contact with a short-circuited battery can cause skin burn. A short circuit will reduce the life of the battery. 5. To minimize the risk of a short circuit, always store batteries in an appropriate container to prevent contact with conductive materials. 6. Do not allow contact with water. 7. Do not remove the battery label. 8. Lithium batteries should be between 10% and 50% of full charge when being transported. 9. Batteries are designed to be recharged. Improperly charging a battery may cause the battery to combust. When charging the battery, use dedicated chargers and follow the specified conditions. Batteries emit flammable gases during the charging process. Ensure that the area is well ventilated and away from sources of ignition. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling batteries. Intended for use as Cordless Power Tool Battery 18V 3Ah Li-ion for CP315 Storage; 1. Store battery (ies) away from heat, spark hazards, fire risk and open flames and other sources of ignition. 2. Store battery (ies) at room temperature (<30 C) and in a well ventilated and dry environment. 3. Do not store in direct sunlight. 4. Keep batteries away from children. 5. Do not eat, drink or smoke in battery storage area. V4 Page 4 of 8 CP315BP v1 Issue 1 08/01/16

5 Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Body protection; Use a protective rubber apron when handling a leaking or ruptured battery. Use appropriate Personal Protection with long sleeves and long trousers. Eye protection; Wear chemical grade full face shield should be worn if handling a leaking or ruptured battery. Hand protection; Use chemical resistant, natural rubber or neoprene acid resistant gloves, with elbow length gauntlet, if handling a leaking or ruptured battery. Respiratory protection; In case of a damaged battery, use acid gas filter mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation; In case of a damaged battery, provide adequate general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels of battery gas and fumes. Refer also to Section 4 and Section 5.
